    Instant Helicopter Death

    Jumping out of a helicopter and randomly getting immediately killed is broken AF. Before it was a nuisance now it's just downright game breaking with ghost mode. I spent hours today working through ghost mode and all of it's lost because of this.

    Do you have any video of this that you could upload and/or link to me? Do you feel this is a bug or that it is intended gameplay that you would like to see changed?

    I refuse to play ghost mode, I put 10 hours into two games, and died in both of them to this. I don't see how jumping out of a helicopter and it killing me is intentional or gameplay, if it is thats plain stupid.

    I had assumed he meant that when he jumps out of the helicopter he is shot by enemies out of nowhere. It sounds like there is a different issue potentially, and a video would help us to report that.

    Instant death by helicopter

    I agree, it happens frequently on PS4 as well. The problem seem to be that the helicopter instantly falls to the ground, and sometimes, hits the player who jumps out. Its really annoying, especially in Ghost mode. My latest two deaths were from this. After Almost 12 hours on each character, it is rather straining the nerves.

    As the blades are still turning, the copter should at least fall slower than the player.
    You really need to look this over Ubisoft. A hotfix please.

    I will need video in order to report this. It's important to note that jumping from a helicopter in midair is quite dangerous if you're the pilot especially. Please wait for it to land before jumping out.

    This has happened to me also. If you are telling me this isn't a glitch that will make me very angry, why have a parachute at all? I wanted to stealth parachute down into a base and got killed by the helicopter on my way down. No I don't have a video, and you shouldn't need one to fix this, that shouldn't happen. It has become very clear to me after playing this mode and having twice gotten killed by what I consider bugs (Ai no revive despite being alive and next to me, and helicopter instant death) that the Ghost Recon Devs have a lot of work to do to make this mode viable for fans. One down with a game this buggy is just asking for trouble. The fact that you still have a perk that helps you recover ammo if you die in the mode is just a sign that Ubi didn't think through this mode as much as it probably should have.

    This happen to me and a friend of mine as well. We were playing co-op ghost mode and flying a helicopter to our next objective. He jumped out first and instantly died. No explanation, no enemies, just dead and kicked back to the menu, losing all of his progress.

    About an hour later I was playing by myself (he quit for obvious reasons) and I jumped out of a helicopter and the same thing happened, instant death. I tried to quit the game quick so that it wouldn't save and I wouldn't lose hours of play, but it didn't work.

    I love jumping from helicopters, so I won't be playing ghost mode anymore until I know this isn't an issue...

    Sometimes if the helicopter doesn't have enough upward momentum and you jump out, the helicopter will be moving downward as you exit and you will touch the spinning chopper blades and die.
